About Duralie Coal
Mining operations at Duralie have now ceased. Duralie finished coal extraction in 2021 and has now transitioned to closure. The closure of Duralie is consistent with the planned and approved life of mining for the operations, having exhausted its approved commercial coal reserves.
Our team is currently undertaking detailed closure plans. This includes confirming final rehabilitation and closure requirements with government regulators. Closure works will include decommissioning and removing infrastructure and completing rehabilitation of the site to an approved final landform. Ongoing environmental monitoring and maintenance of rehabilitated areas will likely continue for another 10 to 15 years. The NSW Government must assess and sign off on the closure and rehabilitation works before we can relinquish our mining leases.
